Real satellite data for Falmouth, real installed pricing, and the same honest model we run for every place we cover.
How Falmouth compares
Small towns rarely get published solar figures, so here are the numbers for Falmouth. It is one of 14 Cornwall towns we track, and it ranks 6th of 14 for solar yield, a town of 24,298 people in the House of Commons Library settlement data. PVGIS gives its roofs 1,056 kWh per kWp a year, 2.89 peak sun hours a day averaged across the seasons, and the standard 12 panel model turns that into £941 of year one benefit, £247 of it from your own generation and £694 from export at 12p.
Treat these as calibration rather than a quote. The calculator below runs the same model, defaulted to Falmouth's own yield, and at Falmouth's 1,056 kWh per kWp it prices a 12 panel system at £6,360 installed before any battery. Your free design call reworks every number for your actual roof, its shading and your usage.
Falmouth sits within Cornwall, its local planning authority, and the House of Commons Library classes it as a small town.
The charger is in the installed price but left out of payback: charging savings depend on your mileage and tariff, which the design call models properly.

A 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Falmouth generates around 6,716 kWh a year, worth around £940 in year one on the 12p export scenario.
Generation is modelled from PVGIS satellite data for Falmouth's own coordinates (50.15119, -5.08112), using the same 26.32p/kWh import value and £1,000 per kWp installed pricing as every Clearline estimate, with the full methodology, sourcing and assumptions set out on our help page.

Common questions about solar in Falmouth

What does a typical solar system cost in Falmouth?
A typical 12 panel, 6.36 kWp system in Falmouth costs around £6,360 installed, at £1,000 per kWp before any battery.
Would a system in Falmouth need a G99 application?
Most home solar and battery systems qualify for the simpler G98 notification, made to the network operator (DNO) after installation rather than before. A minority, usually larger systems, need the fuller G99 process instead. Your design call checks which applies in Falmouth before anything is booked; our G98 vs G99 guide explains the difference in full.
What could I earn from exporting in Falmouth?

Without a gateway your system shuts down when the grid does. Here is what the box actually does.

Main fuse, DNO notification, load balancing and the paperwork. What really happens.

The trial data says no property type is unsuitable. Design quality decides the outcome.
Read the guide →The price cap explained, and what it does to solar payback
The cap limits unit rates, not bills. That changes what solar payback means.

Same satellite dataset, same assumptions, so the differences are real geography rather than modelling noise.

PVGIS v5.2 for each town centroid, identical assumptions throughout. A few kWh either way is weather-year noise; a spread beyond about 30 kWh per kWp is real geography.
